Why do Hindus wear the Tilak?
As is well known that wearing a tilak or a forehead mark is a very ancient tradition for native Hindu people of India. There are even different types of Tilak worn by Hindus who might belong to different sects and can be differentiated just by visual observation. The major traditional sects in the country are “Shaivites” who wear three horizontal lines as their Tilak or Tika and the “Vaishnavites” who wear a Tilak that is like the English alphabet “U”. the Shaivites are the followers of God Shiva and the Vaishnavites are the ardent followers of God Vishnu. In this, all people who are worshippers of Lord Krishna who is the Avtar of God Vishnu regularly use the Chandan Tilak or Chandan Tika. This Tilak is typically made from fresh Sandalwood paste which is derived from extracting sandal paste from a stick of Sandalwood.
Fresh Sandalwood Tilak has a very cooling effect
Sandalwood is a very important item in nearly every aspect of Hindu ritual worship and people who believe in age-old tradition still create the Tilak from a piece of sandalwood. Generally, one takes a sandalwood stick which is dipped in water and is rubbed vigorously on a stone platter repeatedly. So how to use the Chandan stick? That is by rubbing continuously there is a paste created from the minute fragments of sandalwood in touch with water. this is the traditional method that has been in use for generations from ancient times and some still like to follow that age-old tradition with a Chandan stick and stone. Also making the fresh paste and applying it has a special appeal for people who like it that way as it dries up gradually on the forehead. People also use Chandan stick for face benefits as a beauty aid.
These are pure sandalwood sticks
